Well, it's verified for me; running emacs client, new frames (via `C-x 5 2` or any other new-frame method) take 2-3 times longer to start if Helm is enabled. Does anyone know a fix? My .emacs loads a helm-config.el containing the following:
;;;;
;; HELM
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c h") 'helm-command-prefix)
(require 'helm)
(require 'helm-config)
;(require 'helm-eshell)
(require 'helm-files)
(require 'helm-grep)
;; The default "C-x c" is quite close to "C-x C-c", which quits Emacs.
;; Changed to "C-c h". Note: We must set "C-c h" globally, because we
;; cannot change `helm-command-prefix-key' once `helm-config' is loaded.
(global-unset-key (kbd "C-x c"))
(global-set-key (kbd "M-x") 'helm-M-x)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-y") 'helm-show-kill-ring)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x C-f") 'helm-find-files)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x b") 'helm-mini)
(define-key helm-map (kbd "<tab>") 'helm-execute-persistent-action) ; rebihnd tab to do persistent action
(define-key helm-map (kbd "C-i") 'helm-execute-persistent-action) ; make TAB works in terminal
(define-key helm-map (kbd "C-z") 'helm-select-action) ; list actions using C-z
(define-key helm-grep-mode-map (kbd "<return>") 'helm-grep-mode-jump-other-window)
(define-key helm-grep-mode-map (kbd "n") 'helm-grep-mode-jump-other-window-forward)
(define-key helm-grep-mode-map (kbd "p") 'helm-grep-mode-jump-other-window-backward)
(when (executable-find "curl")
(setq helm-google-suggest-use-curl-p t))
(setq helm-quick-update t ; do not display invisible candidates
helm-split-window-in-side-p t ; open helm buffer inside current window, not occupy whole other window
helm-buffers-fuzzy-matching t ; fuzzy matching buffer names when non--nil
helm-move-to-line-cycle-in-source t ; move to end or beginning of source when reaching top or bottom of source.
helm-ff-search-library-in-sexp t ; search for library in `require' and `declare-function' sexp.
helm-scroll-amount 8 ; scroll 8 lines other window using M-<next>/M-<prior>
helm-ff-file-name-history-use-recentf t)

There seems to be work going in to loading Helm completion each time, so I've disabled helm for a while to see how the performance is. But it has me thinking; what other things (say, in your .emacs file) can contribute to slow frame start-ups with an already-running emacs/emacs-server instance?
